Guidelines for Completing Trademarks Cover Sheets (PTO-1594)
Cover Sheet information must be submitted with each document to be recorded. If the document to be recorded
concerns both patents and trademarks, separate patent and trademark cover sheets, including any attached pages for
continuing information, must accompany the document. All pages of the cover sheet should be numbered consecutively for
example, if both a patent and trademark cover sheet is used, and information is continued on one additional page for both
patents and trademarks, the pages of the cover sheet would be numbered from 1 to 4.
Item 1. Name of Conveying Party(ies).
Enter the full name of the party(ies) conveying the interest. If there is more than one conveying party, enter a check
mark in the "Yes" box to indicate that additional information is attached. The name of the second and any subsequent
conveying party(ies) should be placed on an attached page clearly identified as a continuation of the information in Item 1.
Enter a check mark in the "No" box, if no information is contained on an attached page.
Item 2. Name and Address of Receiving Party(ies).
Enter the name and full address of the first party receiving the interest. If there is more than one party receiving the
interest, enter a check mark in the "Yes" box to indicate that additional information is attached. If the receiving party is an
individual, check the "other" box, place the word "individual" in the following line, and enter the citizenship of the receiving
individual. If the receiving party is a legal entity, designate the legal entity of the receiving party by checking the appropriate
box. If the receiving party has more than one citizenship, then the citizenship of each partner should be specified on an
additional sheet, and "See additional sheet" should be written on the line for citizenship. A corporation must set forth the
state, if applicable, or country of incorporation. An association must set forth the state, if applicable, or country under which
they are organized. If the receiving party is not domiciled in the United States, a designation of domestic representative is
encouraged. Place a check mark in the appropriate box to indicate whether or not a designation of domestic representative
is attached. Enter a check mark in the "No" box if no information is contained on an attached page.
Item 3. Nature of Conveyance/Execution Date(s).
Enter the execution date(s) of the document. It is preferable to use the name of the month, or an abbreviation of that
name, to minimize confusion over dates. In addition, place a check mark in the appropriate box describing the nature of the
conveying document. If the "Other" box is checked, specify the nature of the conveyance. The "Other" box should be
checked if the conveying/receiving party is correcting a previously filed document.
Item 4. Application Number(s) or Registration Number(s).
Indicate the application number(s) including series code and serial number, and/or registration number(s) against
which the document is to be recorded. The identification of the trademark should be provided for all properties to avoid
recordation against the wrong property. A filing date should be provided only when the application or registration number is
unknown. Enter a check mark in the appropriate box: "Yes" or "No" if additional numbers appear on attached pages. Be
sure to identify numbers included on attached pages as the continuation of Item 4.
Item 5. Name and Address of Party to whom correspondence concerning document should be mailed.
Enter the name and full address of the party to whom correspondence is to be mailed.

and registrations identified on the cover sheet and on additional pages.

against which the document is recorded.
Item 8. Payment Information.
Enter the deposit account number and authorized user name to authorize charges.
Item 9. Signature.
Enter the name of the person submitting the document. The submitter must sign and date the cover sheet. Enter the
total number of pages including the cover sheet, attachments, and document.
This collection of information is required by 35 USC 261 and 262 and 15 USC 1057 and 1060. The information is used by the public to submit (and by the
USPTO to process) patent and trademark assignment requests. After the USPTO records the information, the records for patent and trademarks, assignments,
and other associated documents can be inspected by the public. To view documents recorded under secrecy orders or documents recorded due to the interest
of the federal government, a written authorization must be submitted. This collection is estimated to take 30 minutes to complete, including gathering,
preparing, and submitting the form to the USPTO. Any comments on the amount of time you require to complete this form and/or suggestions for reducing
this burden, should be sent to the Manager of the Assignment Division, Crystal Gateway 4, Room 310, 1213 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA
22202. DO NOT SEND FEES OR COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Mail Stop Assignment Recordation Services, Director of the
USPTO, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450.

Privacy Act Statement for Patent Assignment Recordation Form Cover Sheet
The Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-579) requires that you be given certain information in
connection with the above request for information. This collection of information is authorized
by 35 U.S.C. 1, 2, 261 and E.O. 9424. This information will primarily be used by the USPTO
for the recordation of assignments related to patents and patent applications. Submission of this
information is voluntary but is required in order for the USPTO to record the requested
assignment. If you do not provide the information required on the cover sheet, the assignment
will not be recorded, and all documents will be returned to you.

After the information is recorded, the records and associated documents can be inspected by the
public and are not confidential, except for documents that are sealed under secrecy orders or
related to unpublished patent applications. Assignment records relating to unpublished patent
applications are maintained in confidence in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 122. Records open to
the public are searched by users for the purpose of determining ownership for other property
rights with respect to patents and trademarks.
Routine uses of the information you provide may also include disclosure to appropriate Federal,
state, local, or foreign agencies in support of their enforcement duties and statutory or regulatory
missions, including investigating potential violations of law or contract and awarding contracts
or other benefits; to a court, magistrate, or administrative tribunal in the course of presenting
evidence; to members of Congress responding to requests for assistance from their constituents;
to the Office of Management and Budget in connection with the review of private relief
legislation; to the Department of Justice in connection with a Freedom of Information Act
request; to a contractor in the performance of their duties; to the Office of Personnel
Management for personnel studies; and to the General Services Administration (GSA) as part of
their records management responsibilities under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906. Such
disclosure to GSA shall not be used to make determinations about individuals.
